Scott Maslen was born in the earshot of Bow Bells, London. He was
raised in Woolwich, and by the age of 16 he made his first career
choice to go into the Royal Marines. So, he did just that and by the
age of 18 he broke his foot and in the company of his friends he went
on holiday to Miami, spending time working and on the beach.
One day Scott was spotted by a world famous photographer Bruce Webber
and he offered him a green card just like that and from then, he earned
himself a successful career as a International model working for the
likes of Versace.
Scott traveled the world, staying in hotels, fast cars and beautiful
girls. It was a great time for him because he was earning good money
and getting to see the world. Modelling in glamorous locations, very
stunning locations and doing modeling such as catalog work, magazine
photo shoots and cat walking.
By the end of 5 years, Scott was in his twenties and he was advised by
actor Bill Paxton to turn to acting. Three years at the Guildhall,
meeting up with his pal Orlando Bloom, he graduated and was offered the
part in Snatch playing the part Nick Moran ended up playing. However,
because of his on-going education in theater and drama he had to drop
the offer. Eventually he did the
